I hope you're having a great day!

I wanted to take a moment to remind you of something very important that we emphasize everyday here at MT: how we treat others and how we carry ourselves each day matters.

Here are two things you can have conversations with your students about as we move into May.

1) Please remember to be kind to one another—in class, in the hallways, and everywhere in between. A smile, a kind word, or a helping hand can truly make someone's day.

2)Also, always do your best—whether you're learning something new, working on an assignment, or simply walking through the halls. Show pride in yourself, your work, and our school.

Together, we can make our school a place where everyone feels safe, respected, and encouraged to grow.

Thank you for your continued support.

With the help of our Amazing PTA and MTMS families, Mrs. K’s Book Club Crew was able to meet their Donors Choose Project total of nearly $1000. We were able to purchase two new books by author Elly Swartz and plan a live virtual author zoom, presentation and Q & A session with Elly. The kids are beyond excited and jumped right in this week to start reading! Click HERE for more info on the project!
